After installing new mains, technicians will schedule times with affected homeowners to connect their service to the new system. This will include a service interruption for approximately four hours.

If possible, gas meters will be relocated to an outside location on the property, and technicians will relight all appliances and ensure that they are working properly before leaving the area.
